Hofbräuhaus at the JW Marriott Hotel Dubai in Deira is opening its doors for the annual month of Oktoberfest fun on 27 September 2017. Celebrate with us 20 years of a piece of Germany right here in Dubai! Authentic hearty Oktoberfest dishes, signature pints of German brews and your favourite Bavarian songs from our live band arriving straight from the Wiesn.

The menu features all the flavours of Munich: German Potato Salad, Bavarian Beef Goulash, and Veal Dumplings as well as Hofbräuhaus favourites like Schmankerl and the popular Wies'nhendl, roasted chicken with golden brown and crispy skin, a must-have at any Oktoberfest tent.

Chef Debrup Mitra, Executive Chef at the JW Marriott Hotel Dubai, along with other members of the restaurant team has been to the original Hofbräuhaus in Munich and also attended the Oktoberfest to bring an authentic experience back to Dubai. Apart from the hustle and bustle of the Oktoberfest, he was also especially fond of the German concept of "Gemütlichkeit", the German way of spending a relaxing time together in a beautiful setting while sharing some good food, for example a platter of cold cuts. All of these experiences inspired the 20th anniversary Oktoberfest celebrations this year.

"No Oktoberfest would be complete without the famous German pretzels", says Chef Debrup. "To celebrate 20 years of Oktoberfest in Dubai, we are baking a huge pretzel for all Oktoberfest-goers to share during Oktoberfest on Fridays".
